  1. Application crash when copy/pasting SVG paths

    I have several logos that were created in Inkscape and saved in SVG format that I now need to edit in Illustrator. However even after re-saving them as AI files, any attempt to copy/paste any part of the SVG paths from the logo results in an immediate application crash.

    Adobe Illustrator CC (latest) Windows 10 64bit

    Steps:
    1. Open the attached AI file (which was converted from SVG by opening then saving in Illustrator).
    2. Select any part of the logo.
    3. Copy using Edit -> Copy or CTRL+C
    4. Paste using Edit -> Paste or CTRL+V
    5. The application…

  3. Incorrect command names in Exporting Icons tutorial

    For the Illustrator tutorial: Exporting icons
    In the instructions it says Hide Rulers but it should be Show Rulers
    Also in the instructions it says Unlock Guides but it should say Lock Guides.
    With tutorials in general need to specify the Workspace because some workspaces offer different options than others and can be missing when doing a tutorial.

    I use Windows Pro 11, Illustrator 30.5.1

  4. New proofread feature finds that dummy text is violating the community guidelines

    This is more fun that a real problem, but some people may be irritated that the new proofread function finds words that violate the community guidelines when used on standard "Lorem ipsum ..." dummy text. ;-)

    Maybe this should be whitelistet somehow.

  5. ショートカット設定が起動のたびに初期化される現象 / Shortcut settings are reset every time the application is launched

    Urgent: Persistent Keyboard Shortcut Bug (Case: ADB-42685232-Q2L9)

    To the Adobe Illustrator Engineering Team,

    This is a follow-up regarding a previously acknowledged bug (Case: ADB-42685232-Q2L9). Despite being confirmed as a bug, it remains unfixed in version 26.5.

    Issue:
    My custom keyboard shortcut (Cmd+Shift+F9) assigned to a specific "Align" command is being forcefully overwritten by the default "Pathfinder" panel shortcut upon every application launch.

    Impact:
    I have attempted to create and save new shortcut sets, but the application resets these to default every time it launches. This constant re-configuration disrupts my professional workflow and reduces productivity.

    Request:
    As this issue has been…

  6. Auto activate fonts option turns back on by it self

    Auto font activate keeps turning back on after I turn it off. I do not want it on because I use my own font service and sometimes I already have the fonts. When it auto adds the font it makes it so the font doesn't work at all then I have to go in cc app and scroll forever (because there is no search) to remove the font.

    Apparently the only fix is to completely turn of adobe fonts from the CC app which will remove all adobe fonts which is not what I want to do!! I still use…

  7. Unicode - or wrong code - in file names

    File names with strange characters produce strange and inconsistent info in the DocumentAfterSave and DocumentAfterActivate events. I keep adding regexes to my "fix name" routine....
    These messages belong to the same file:
    <documentAfterActivate><url>file:///X:/Symbole/Ornamente,%20grafische%20Designelemente,%20Blumendekor,%20einfache%20Grundformen/Designelemente%20basierend%20auf%20geometrischer%20und%20konstruierter%20Grafik%20%B9%20Basis-edit.ai</url><name>Designelemente basierend auf geometrischer und konstruierter Grafik ¹ Basis-edit.ai</name></documentAfterActivate>
    <documentAfterSave><url>file:///X:/Symbole/Ornamente,%20grafische%20Designelemente,%20Blumendekor,%20einfache%20Grundformen/Designelemente%20basierend%20auf%20geometrischer%20und%20konstruierter%20Grafik%20%C2ą%20Basis-edit.ai</url></documentAfterSave>
    So, this ¹ is represented as %B9 in one place and %C2ą (note: a letter with a waggy tail) in the other

    OS: Win 11, Illustrator all versions (at least back to 2019)

  9. Blend with a straight spine doesn’t look the same as a blend without it

    Here I’m checking a simple blend. One copy has a spine (a straight line with no handles), the other has it removed. They should be identical, but they aren't — the one with a spine is not uniform. I test this with the new Blend panel in Beta 30.6.0.27 (with the acceleration set to 0), and it works the same way as in the GA 30.4 release.

  10. Illustrator on Windows 11 does not reflect custom paper size selected in printer preferences

    I use Adobe Illustrator for production label printing with a tsc label printer.

    On Windows 10, when I opened Illustrator Print > Setup > Printer Preferences, changed or created a custom paper size, and clicked OK, the selected paper size was immediately reflected in Illustrator’s print dialog.

    After upgrading to Windows 11, this no longer works.

    Steps to reproduce:
    1. Open an Illustrator file.
    2. Go to File > Print.
    3. Click Setup / Preferences for the printer.
    4. Create or select a custom paper size in the printer driver.
    5. Click OK and return to Illustrator’s print dialog.

    Expected…

  11. フォントアクティベートがイラレで反映されない

    AdobeCCから新規フォントをアクティベートONをしても、イラレの方では反映されません。
    また、イラレのフォントパネルから検索→クラウドからインストールする場合は永遠と読み込み中になり、少し時間が経つと読み込みもなくなってしまいます。

    ・AdobeCCの再インストール→再起動
    ・AdobeCCでのフォント無効化 ON/OFF
    ・イラレ側でのフォント自動アクティベート外す
    ・フォントのキャッシュ削除

    など試みましたが改善無しです。
    必要なフォントが使用できずかなり困っています。

  14. Always crashes upon clicking All Formats (*.AI; *.AIT;...) button in the Open File dialogue box

    Any time I try to open a file and ACCIDENTALLY hit the button All Formats, Illustrator freezes and stops responding. I have to close the program. This issue has been consistent across multiple versions and 2 computers, and happens every single time.

  15. "Exportar para Telas" não mantém o caminho de destino da pasta de origem do arquivo

    "Exportar para Telas" não mantém o caminho de destino da pasta de origem do arquivo

    Em versões anteriores do Illustrator (até a 24.1.3), o diálogo "Exportar para Telas" usava automaticamente a pasta do arquivo .ai como destino padrão de exportação, e lembrava o caminho entre sessões. Esse comportamento foi alterado em alguma atualização posterior e, desde então, o caminho de exportação é resetado toda vez que o Illustrator é reiniciado.

    Embora a correção tenha sido anunciada no Beta 29.5.52 (março de 2025), o comportamento ainda não está funcionando de forma consistente na versão de release geral.

    Comportamento esperado: ao reabrir…

  16. Not working GPU - not active on MAC Studio M2 Ultra

    I have a problem with GPU display on my MAC Studio 2023 M2 Ultra with MAC OS 26.4.1 TAHOE.

    • when I turn off or on the ruler display, the screen flashes black and the Display with GPU function is deactivated.
    • the same situation occurs when I have a grouped object, when I want to Edit it. The screen flashes black and the GPU does not work.

    It has been doing this since Illustrator version 30.3 after the MAC OS update to 26.4.1. I have to close the application and after reopening it, the GPU is active! But just hide the…

  18. 日本語入力ができなくなるバグ

    【不具合報告】macOS Tahoe 標準日本語 IME が Adobe Illustrator でインライン入力に失敗する

    ■ 環境
    ・macOS Tahoe (26)
    ・Adobe Illustrator 29.8.6 および 30.3 の両バージョンで共通して発生
    ・IME: macOS 標準日本語入力(ライブ変換オフ)
    ・ハードウェア: Apple Silicon Mac

    ■ 症状
    Illustrator のテキストツールで日本語を入力しようとすると、未確定文字がアプリケーション内のカーソル位置(インライン)に表示されず、画面左下にフローティング変換ウィンドウとして表示される。変換ウィンドウ内で確定(Return)を押してもアプリケーション側に文字が入力されず、ウィンドウも消えない。

    Illustrator を再起動すると一時的に回復するが、数十分〜数時間の作業後に再発する。この症状は Illustrator のバージョンを変えても変わらないため、macOS Tahoe 側の IME の実装に起因する問題と考えられる。

    ■ 再現手順
    1. Illustrator を起動し、任意のドキュメントを開く
    2. テキストツールでテキストオブジェクトをダブルクリック
    3. 数十分〜数時間日本語入力を継続する
    4. 値わず、未確定文字がインラインではなく左下のフローティングウィンドウに出るようになる

    ■ 試みた対処(すべて効果なし)
    ・アプリケーションおよびシステムの再起動
    ・対象アプリケーションのキャッシュ・環境設定リセット
    ・フォントキャッシュのクリア
    ・入力ソースの再登録
    ・ライブ変換の ON/OFF 切り替え
    ・アプリケーシンのバージョンダウングレード(30.3 → 29.8.6)

    ■ 鈴決した事実
    AppleScript による Illustrator への JavaScript 実行命令は正常に通るため、Apple Events 自体のブロックはない。IME とアプリケーション間のインライン入力連携(Text Input Client プロトコル)が切れることが原因と考えられる。

    ■ 要望
    macOS Tahoe の標準日本語 IME において、長時間使用後にインライン入力セッションが失われる不具合を修正していただきたい。特に Adobe Illustrator のようなプロフェッショナル送のドローイングアプリケーションでの再現性が高い。

  19. DICカラーの表示がおかしい

    Ver30.3で新規ファイルを作成したうえでカラーにDIC指定をすると、色がくすんで表示されます。CMYK値に変換したとき、くすんだ色のままの数値になってしまいます。
    新規ではなく以前作ったファイル上でDICカラーを指定した場合はこれまで通りの表示になっています。
    設定の変更で対応可能でしょうか?
